TL;DR Humans are sold my images and concrete things that they can verify with their eyes. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The smart kid who is unable to convince others of his ideas. My Practical Experience People selling me on “complicated “home services Two guys come to my home to inspect my AC unit, and after some quiet investigation, they start telling me everything that’s wrong with the “flux capacitor”, “gizmo watts”, and “hydropowered radio”....
TL;DR In a world where data is abundant to support any narrative, why not choose the narrative where where you win? Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? Mr. Pessimistic, who has no friends and is not liked by anyone. My Practical Experience I think I’ve unlocked another key to using my mind more effectively. It’s all starting to come together now. What I was doing before In one of my previous posts, I discussed how humor is basically a life hack....
TL;DR Part of being a student means accepting the case when you will fail, and have to resort back to the basics. Lifelong students are never above any “small” task, if it means aligns with their goals and vision. Admitting that I don’t know, and asking for help. An alpha would never do this; but a student would never hesitate. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help?...
TL;DR It is our attitude at the beginning of a test which, more than anything else, will determine its successful outcome. Problem solving can be accomplished through a calm state of mind and a positive attitude. Solving problems is a lot like solving puzzles, and having a calm state of mind is the key to unlocking the solution. Relax. Take it easy. Then, the solution will reveal itself. Whom am I speaking to?...
TL;DR If you want to visit a suburban museum, consider checking out At Home decor store. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The person sitting home home with nothing better to do. My Practical Experience Today I went with one of my siblings to the At Home decor store. Here’s what happened. Here’s what the store sells: Pillows & Cushions (50%) Containers & Vases (40%) Rugs & Carpet (5%) Paintings (3%) Random toys and junk (2%) The store felt more like an open garage sale, where half the space was dedicated to cushions of sorts, and vases/containers were EVERYWHERE throughout the store....
TL;DR I was shy to enter this boxing club; now I have signed up for my first class next week. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The “nice guy” who’s good, wholesome, and not capable of being dangerous enough to be courageous. My Practical Experience Here are my first impressions of the boxing place I visited. Upon arriving at the entrance, the place looked more like a warehouse than a “suburban” gym....
Introduction A single Google Search of “Living at Home” will reveal the cultural stigma behind this lifestyle. Often for men, “living at home” is synonymous with “lazy, loser, bum”. Certainly, for most men, that may be the case–IF they choose to label living at home as the same experience as if they were a child. But in this post, I will outline the wholistic pros and cons of living at home, and I will demonstrate how relabeling certain aspects will actually show why living at home is more practical....
TL;DR Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? My Practical Experience Books Influence the way we think, which sets us up for the right ACTION This more coming from the shit I hear other people say. Alex Hormozi once mentioned how, he eventually read 10 books, but nothing about himself changed–to which I strongly disagree. The changes that take place when we read books are not visually observable actions, rather internal changes to the way we perceive the world through shaping the way we think–a software update instead of a hardware one....
TL;DR Target so far is simply a nice place to go for creative ideas and maybe even future invites, but not a place I’d personally enjoy going to regularly. Barnes and Nobles is far better. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The scared beta male who doesn’t leave his house. My Practical Experience So I’ve completed a week day of going to Target after working hours....
TL;DR Open a single quicknotes on the right side of your screen, about 25%-33% of your screen width. Open another screen for your work, taking up the remainder of the space. At the top of the notepad, have these two headings: LABEL: The temporary and creative idenitify you give yourself to excite motivation to get the work done GOAL: The end goal, something that, when accomplished, you can reward yourself, knowing the job is complete (Ideally, something tangible, like pass-fail, or documenting, to show your progress) The last section is the STEPS section, where you simple “think out loud”, but on your notepad, ensuring that your line of thinking in aligned with your label and your goal....
